Marco Rose felt little desire to go back to the agenda after the explosive league summit against FC Bayern.

Although the last group game in the Champions League against Besiktas Istanbul is due on Tuesday (9 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the Champions League and on Amazon Prime Video), the Dortmund coach felt the need to refer again to the unfortunate circumstances of the 2: 3 against to enter the Munich.

The football teacher's anger about the decisions made by referee Felix Zwayer has not subsided: “I would be lying if I said that it left me cold.

I had a restless night because we felt we had acted unfairly. "

Even the attempts by the DFB to smooth things over and to judge Zwayer's decisions as correct in retrospect through statements by video evidence project manager Jochen Drees could not appease Rose.

“The DFB moderated the topic in its own way through small internal interviews.

But in this game too often double standards were used, ”complained the soccer teacher.

"It's about prestige"

After the rousing and much discussed duel between the two German industry leaders, there is now an unpleasant contrast program for the Dortmunders.

In view of the prematurely sealed knockout in the premier class, the game against Besiktas Istanbul will not be a tingling compulsory task.

Regardless of the dreary starting position, coach Marco Rose made his professionals responsible: “This is not a golden pineapple game.

It's about prestige, it's about money for the club and it's about getting a few things straight in the Champions League. "

UEFA's lavish bonus for victories in the group stage of 2.8 million euros alone should be motivation enough. Similar to Rose, Sebastian Kehl expects a positive reaction after the poor performance so far in the actual feasible group with leaders Ajax Amsterdam (15 points), Sporting Lisbon (9) and Istanbul (0): “If we are unfortunately the last time in this Season on this stage, after the recent bitter defeats and disappointments, we have an absolute obligation to play a really good and successful game for our fans and the club ”, said the licensed player boss to the“ kicker ”.

The bitter 1: 3 two weeks ago in Lisbon sealed relegation to the Europa League due to the lost direct comparison with the Portuguese.

To keep the financial damage within limits, club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke set a new goal: “We now have to work to get back 13 million euros by winning the Europa League.

That is the title that Borussia Dortmund is still missing. "

The lack of sporting explosiveness in the duel with the Turkish double winner should tempt Rose to an extensive rotation.

“There are a few players for whom we have to regulate the loads after injury breaks.

But we will send a good team onto the field, but we have to keep in mind that we will have another important Bundesliga game on Saturday in Bochum, ”commented the coach.

National player Julian Brandt, who suffered a concussion against Bayern, is not yet an option.

“Overall, Jule is fine.

He's been released from the hospital, but there are still some tests to be done.

We'll see if we can do that again by Saturday, ”said Rose.

The coach gave Axel Witsel and Donyell Malen a guaranteed starting eleven.
